Plumbing Diagnosis and Inspection Services from Your East Hampton Plumber
Whether you have clogged drains or tree root intrusion, every property owner needs a dependable plumber. East Hampton NY homeowners will benefit from an annual diagnosis and inspection designed to help you detect early warning signs of damage in advance before disaster strikes.
Sometimes, a recurring toilet backup could signify an underlying issue concerning your sewer lateral. Or decreased water pressure might indicate rust in your hot water heater tank or calcium buildup in your supply lines. Your local East Hampton plumber offers professional diagnosis and inspection services using advanced plumbing technology to find the underlying causes of minor problems like that, and fix them before they get worse.
Plumbing Video Camera Inspection
Because drain lines and sewer lines are either hidden behind walls or buried underground, you need something reliable and flexible that can enter through pipes and provide you with a detailed diagnosis of what the larger issue might be.
A plumbing video camera is attached to a flexible cable, which your East Hampton plumber lowers into the sewer trap (also known as the cleanout), located either outside your home, near your floor drain, or in a crawl space. The camera’s head can pan, tilt, and zoom, which allows your skilled plumber to determine your pipe’s age, material, and condition. It can go as far as to detect any clogs that are restricting the flow. In order to detect a leak, we’ll use additional technology to get that job done for you.
Leaky Pipe Detection
Despite the camera’s lighting, we can only see what’s reflected on the monitor and locate a clog from the surface by relying on a corresponding signal receiver. In order to detect leaking pipes and confirm everybody’s guesswork, our service technicians may need to use additional tools.
An acoustic water leak detector is a stethoscope that senses the impact of dripping sounds. When a leak is detected, the ground microphone sends vibrations to the acoustic listening device.
If we suspect that there are several leaks in a single area, we reconfirm the exact locations by using thermal imaging cameras that show us the exact hotspots via temperature readings.
East Hampton Drain Cleaning
Every household gets clogged drains in one way or another, especially if you have a busy home. Even if you are the most dutiful and considerate person at home who treats their plumbing well, you can’t expect everyone to follow your example. It just seems so convenient to flush dental floss, tissues, or Q-tips down the toilet—except that your toilet is not a garbage can!
Only human waste and toilet paper are meant to go down the toilet and nothing else. Even an excessive amount of toilet paper could form a serious clog and lead to other toilet issues.
By requesting drain cleaning services from your East Hampton plumber, you could benefit from an inspection prior to the cleaning. In fact, it is a mandatory step for our technicians to assess your pipes’ health before going ahead with advanced cleaning techniques like hydro jetting.
HydroScrub® Jetting
Mr. Rooter Plumbing of The Hamptons is proud to present our cutting-edge HydroScrub® jetting equipment, a pressurized water jet designed to clean the interior of pipes. Unlike your traditional snaking and plunging tools—where you either use pressure or force to break through stubborn clogs—hydro jets blast through the entire system, cleaning every corner of your pipe with high-pressure water.
You no longer need to scrub your sink drain opening with vinegar and baking soda when your local East Hampton plumber and their hydro scrub can clean your drains all the way down, eliminating all the sludge, mineral deposits, raw sewage, and even tree roots.
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning in East Hampton
- Slow drains
- Foul odors from sink
- Recurring clogs
- Backed-up floor drain
- Decreased water pressure
Depending on how busy your household is, your East Hampton plumber recommends scheduling annual drain cleaning once a year, ideally in the early spring, so you’re on top of your inspections.
By fighting off clogged drains, you’ll less likely have to worry about your sewer pipe. If your East Hampton plumbers ever suspect that clogged drains are related to your sewer lateral, they will perform a detailed sewer line inspection and offer efficient sewer cleaning to eliminate any clogs and buildups.
Your East Hampton Plumber for Efficient Plumbing Installations
You might be wondering about your water heater’s age and realize that it’s due to be replaced. Or you decided to take better precautions and need an East Hampton plumber to install a backwater valve to minimize the risks of a sewer line backup and flood in your home. Whichever replacement or installation service you choose, you’ll require a licensed plumber. East Hampton NY property owners will have peace of mind knowing that our trusted plumbers have what it takes to get the job done correctly and effectively.
Water Heater Installation
We install gas-powered and electric water heaters or replace them if your current one is meeting its life expectancy. Although water heaters are made to last for at least 12 years, we recommend a potential replacement by the time it reaches ten years. Routine maintenance from an experienced plumber is crucial and includes tank flushing, anode rod replacement, and drain valve replacement. If maintenance needs aren’t met, you’ll find yourself needing water heater replacement sooner rather than later.
We specialize in the following installations:
- Gas-operated and electric
- Tankless water heaters
Signs You Need a New Water Heater
- Rust inside tank
- Water pressure problems
- Unit is making strange noises
- Not enough hot water
- Leaks around the tank
- Frequent water heater repairs
- Age-related problems
Sump Pump Installation
Sump pumps are ideal to have for homeowners who live in flood-prone areas and have lower levels like basements. While basements are rare in Long Island NY, they can still be found as long as those properties are not too close to water levels. Having a sump pump will help you control any rising water levels in your basement and around your house’s perimeter because sump pumps work in conjunction with your weeping tile, which is designed to protect your home’s foundation from excess rainwater.
The sump pump’s float switch reacts to rising water levels and pumps any excess water through a discharge pipe to prevent a potential flood. Additionally, waterproofing your basement with sealant and installing additional drains will also minimize flood issues.
Backwater Valve Installation
Having a backwater valve installed on your sewer pipe will protect you from sewage backing up into your home. In the event of heavy rain or a storm, public storm sewers could get so overloaded that excess wastewater begins to flow backward into residential sewer laterals, leading to severe backups and home flooding.
Backwater valves have a secure flap function which—once installed on your sewer line—can sense the pressure of an upcoming backup and close the access. Thus, it blocks any sewage from entering your home. Certain types of properties (those with basements for sure) require a backwater valve, along with routine inspections from a certified plumber to ensure the device is working properly.

East Hampton Plumber for Repairs
Whether you have a busted supply line or any other type of broken pipe, you’ll need a qualified plumber. East Hampton NY homeowners will not always have visible signs of damage because certain plumbing leaks could occur underneath concrete or behind walls, and it’s not until you see an increased water bill that you know you need leak repairs.
Slab Leak Repair
Most homes throughout the East Hamptons are built on concrete slab, which is also known as your home’s foundation. New builds will experience home settling within three to five years, during which the four corners of your house will settle evenly into place. It’s important to note that most of your plumbing pipes and electrical wires are installed beneath that concrete. However, on rare occasions, a pipe can burst due to house settlement, weakened lines, shifting soil, or even poor installation.
Signs You Need Slab Leak Repair
- Increased water bill
- Hot spots on floor or warping and buckling
- Musty smells
- Decreased water pressure throughout the house
- Sound of running water under the floors
Sewer Line Repair
Similar to slab leaks, the warning signs you need repair in East Hampton are not immediately apparent or visible. It may start with a backed-up toilet, followed by sink flies, slow drains, and greener grass patches on your landscaping. When hiring our professional plumbers, East Hampton NY property owners will finally figure out what’s happening within their plumbing systems.
East Hampton Plumbers Offering Trenchless Repair Method
You may wonder how we repair underground pipes without digging up concrete or landscaping. For decades service providers in the plumbing industry have been perfecting trenchless technology, during which non-invasive and minimally invasive methods have been showing tremendous success.
Pipe Relining
This is the most common trenchless repair method that involves installing an epoxy-soaked polyester tube liner into the damaged sewer line or water line. It’s a process that’s also known as “cure in place pipe,” which is designed to restore the damaged pipe’s original functions.
Pipe Bursting
This process is minimally invasive because your East Hampton plumber needs to drill two access holes. Bursting involves hydraulics which we use to burst a pipe section. The small pieces will be pulled out via a rod, and, at the same time, a new line will be put in place.
